As he earlier explained, you only get that issues with refurbished. Now that doesn't mean some unscrupulous peeps don't package refurbished phone as new, but if you know what you are doing (that is, if you were suspicious of the phone), you can check the validity of the phone on Apple website using the phones serial number to know if the content matches the box.

You can buy original Samsung and Iphones on eBay, and pay for shipping, though expensive but it's original

For example, if dem tell you to bring 4m for iPhone 16, can you? Will you?

When Hushpuppi still dey, he's usually going to Apple store to buy iPhone. Some people think it's show off, no it's not. He was only going for the original..

You cannot get original Samsung screen replacement, unless it's from another faulty phone, always a good pouch with it, it saves your screen

iOYEN:
Yes, Samsung screens are durable, but the replacements don't hold up. You pay over half the price of the phone for a replacement, yet it still may not last. In my last experience, my phone fell from a stool. When I picked it up, the screen looked fine, but the next morning, it was completely filled with ink.

I started using Samsung since 2011. I used note1 from 2011 to 2013, note 3 2013 to 2018(without screen protector but still no single scratch on screen in 2018, I had to change it because it was getting very old.)

then I bought Google pixel 3xl 2018 to 2020, after just one drop, the screen smashed.

I bought pixel 3a xl in 2020, again the screen smashed in 2021, I went back to Samsung, bought galaxy note 9, it got stolen after one month.

I went back and repaired the pixel 3xl, used it from 2021 to 2023,the screen spoilt again,

I bought galaxy note 10 plus. From 2023 till now. That's what I'm making this post with.

Among all the Samsung, none had a single fault whatsoever, even on the screen.

Buy the 21 ultra and update. Come and give us update

For high-end Samsung phones, some has LCD screens

I watched a documentary where it was mentioned that Samsung uses something called "gorilla glass" for their screens, that could explain its longevity.

To me it doesn't make economic sense to buy a phone of 1 million when same function & spec can be bought for 300k with Tecno, also realising those high end have different versions, American, UK, China, Korea. Etc how am I supposed to know the best original version after spending 1 million on same phone

This is totally false.

Refurbished iphones are usually tagged as refurbished, even checking the IMEI number of the iphone online shows if it's refurbished or not. Most iphones are original.

And no, iphone 16 does not cost 4m even in Apple store worldwide.

I like your submission but 4M for an iPhone is a little bit exaggerated and refurbished phones are indicated on the phone.

Snapdragon is not Korea alone, most US Samsung is Snapdragon, while most Korea Samsung is exenos

Snapdragon versions are for South Korea and US market only based on Snapdragon is a US company, so they have to compliment each other one way or the other and Samsung feel their people in South Korea also deserve premium since Snapdragon is considered premium processor and superior to the competitors in the system

While Exenos is for the European market specifically

Even windows laptop that many tech don't favour as they would prefer apple can still be coded to run Linux.

I don't think so. This same excuse is why I'm scared of innoson.

These people don't do marketing, see for days now I've been seeing Tecno and Infinix advert from influencers.... let's talk about cars, I've seen GAC, Mikano and all get Influencers and do promotions. They are in lagos in the faces of everybody. You see them everyday. When have you seen innoson do such. They're waiting for government intervention

Well there’s a limit to your s10plus, hope you know you can’t upgrade it to android 13.
I’m talking about Samsung with the newest chipset starting from s20 that are synonymous with green line of death.
Im not saying all the new chipset has screen issues mostly caused by software updates according to reports. You might be lucky if you change your phone to the new chipset but try and make research online and see reviews yourself, I bought my last Samsung last year October sold it off a month after due to the green line issue Samsung s20 snapdragon variant know to be the best.

When it comes to Samsung call me uncle, list of my previous Samsung phones that I can remember: galaxy grand, j5,j7, note4, note6, s6, s7edge, S9plus, s20. Hopefully if no report of green line on s24u that would be my next bus stop.

I feel you on this 100%. Back in 2010 I bought Galaxy Ace...I used it for 2 years and sold it in 2012. No fault at all. I then went through the years where I used Tecno and Itel...omo, I no enjoy those phones at all...they always develop fault after a while. I went back to Samsung in 2021. I bought the Samsung A02....then I started going up in ranks...A03, A04...Now I use A06. I've been using the A06 since last year, and no issues. In fact, while laying the bed last week, my woman flipped the sheets so fast, didn't know my phone was there, the A06 went up in the air and landed on the ground with a loud sound. In fact, I thought the phone was gone. I picked it up, dusted it, and there was nothing wrong with it, except for a small scratch on the screen guard (not the phone screen).

I have never regretted going back to Samsung. In fact I regret not using Samsung all along cos I believed the silly rumors that the screen always damage easily.

While Samsung maintains some manufacturing in South Korea, particularly for high-tech components and its local market, the vast majority of its smartphone production is now outsourced to other countries like Vietnam and India.

Korean-made Samsung devices, particularly those for the domestic market, may differ in specifications like processor, camera, and RAM compared to international versions.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

South Korea (Domestic & High-Tech):
High-tech component manufacturing:
Samsung still designs and produces key components like CPUs, OLED displays, camera sensors, and flash memory chips in South Korea.

Primary market focus:
The South Korean manufacturing facilities primarily serve the domestic market with devices tailored to local preferences and infrastructure.

Regional differences:
Korean variants of Samsung phones might have different processors (e.g., Snapdragon in the Korean S5 vs. Exynos in international models), higher RAM, and features specific to the Korean market, like an antenna for mobile TV streaming.

Vietnam, India, and Other Countries (Global Production):

Outsourced smartphone manufacturing:
Samsung has shifted much of its smartphone production to countries like Vietnam and India, where labor costs are lower and production capacity is higher.

Focus on cost and efficiency:
This move is driven by the need to reduce production costs and increase global production capacity.

Regional variations:
International versions of Samsung phones may have different chipsets, camera configurations, and software features depending on the target market.

In essence:
Samsung's home country of South Korea focuses on high-tech component manufacturing and supplying its local market with devices that have specific features and components.

For global smartphone production, Samsung relies heavily on manufacturing facilities in other countries like Vietnam and India, where they can benefit from lower costs and greater production capacity.

I don't understand.
Snapdragon processor a US processor while Exynos is Samsung's processor. Why are they keeping the better processor for themselves while giving us the lesser processor.
